The Perceptual Field Part One: Looking at the Ground

In the city our senses are dominated by overwhelming fields and streams of information that engage us primarily at eye level. This is the layered, fluid jumble of billboards, voices, textures, faces, scents, vehicles, sounds, costumes, and images that our eyeballs hunt, our ears drink in, and our noses sift. As we walk, shifting our attention from this to that, we direct and edit highly personalized, multisensory "movies." These movies are, of course, myriad in number and different for everyone.
